GYA Homeless Youth Diversion Program
In response to the dire needs of the homeless youth in our community, GYA has been providing local homeless youth with temporary transitional housing in the form of hotel vouchers while working with them to secure permanent employment. The hotel vouchers will be provided to the youth participants that are homeless or on the verge of homelessness and are between the ages 16-25. Meanwhile we work closely with the youth participants to find employment and connect them to the needed services to transition to permanent housing.
